Question

I recently came across this term for a particular interest of mine .I have not found it in any of my vast library of books on that interest.

Never heard it in fifteen years of practice in this interest.

But it was used as a quiz question on Eggheads (U.K)

Answer 1

Scroddled clay is two or more scraps of clay.

It can be of different bodies i.e as agate ware.

Coiled,twisted,layered or even wedged and thrown.

Basically scraps of clay reused to create an interesting item of pottery.

Scrodd is usually a word that means random or in music a bit like jazz!

To Scrodd is to use bits and pieces.
